Are You A Good Steward?

Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

A good steward puts aside their own wants and ambitions in order to show kindness and care for the well-being of those Yahweh God has put under our authority.
